Jason Priest, Scorpions in a Bowl - Hardcover

The world had seen warriors like Jason Priest before-soldiers forged in fire, hardened by blood, and shaped by relentless duty. But Priest was different. He didn't just survive wars-he dissected them. From the killing fields of the Middle East to the frozen corridors of Russia, he became a phantom sniper: a ghost who dismantled terror networks with a single shot and vanished into silence.

Now war has followed him home.

Dome Rock Penitentiary-known as "the Bowl"-is no ordinary prison. Carved into the heart of a Nebraska mountain, it is part fortress, part labyrinth, and part tomb. Inside, gangs maneuver like armies, alliances form in shadows, and betrayal runs deeper than steel. Corruption has seeped into the ranks of Federal Correctional Agents, leaving Director Charles Cross-Priest's former commander and now head of the Federal Bureau of Prisons-with only one option: call on the man who can turn predators into prey.

Jason's mission is ruthless and near impossible: separate the loyal from the corrupt, dismantle a growing shadow network, and reclaim Dome Rock before it erupts into all-out war. But inside the Bowl, enemies wear both inmate uniforms and correctional badges-and one wrong strike could determine whether the prison stands... or burns.

What neither Priest nor Cross yet knows is that the Bowl's criminal web stretches far beyond its walls, with tendrils reaching into Director Cross's own home state of North Dakota. The battlefield is shifting, and the fight is only beginning.

Jason Priest: Scorpions in a Bowl is a relentless tale of survival, deception, and the razor-thin line between order and anarchy. When war collides with prison, only the most disciplined hunter can outlast the swarm.
